Hi, all -- I like being able to use -i to set an in-place edit suffix like .bak for the original copy of my files. Since I use the old MIT/Athena delete(1) program, though, I'd like even more to be able to define a *prefix* for the original file so that instead of file.bak I have .#file after an edit (and then I can clean up the original 30 days later without any other effort on my part, thanks to an expunge(1) looking for delete(1)d files). Currently I know that I can 1) manually delete the .bak files or 2) go back to the Camel book and manually implement the rename that is what -i basically does for me but do it with a prefix. Does anyone have any better ways?
